Boschstraat 61544 RC ZaandijkOud Zaandijk

Some houses are completely finished. Others are waiting for someone with great ideas, a practical mindset and a solid renovation plan. And believe us, there is plenty of room for ideas at Boschstraat 6! Behind the characteristic façade dating from 1914 lies a home with a surprisingly spacious living room, a charming bay window and plenty of potential to create a place of your own. There is, however, work to be done: the property requires extensive renovation, and foundation repairs are also essential. So, this is not a turnkey home, but a project full of potential. And all in a lovely location in Zaandijk, where you can enjoy peaceful surroundings while still having everything close at hand. Peaceful living in the heart of Zaandam’s local charm What makes this location particularly appealing? Boschstraat is a dead-end street, making it a wonderfully peaceful place to live. Children can play in the playground at the end of the street, and the nearby SPAR supermarket is within walking distance for everyday essentials. The famous Zaanse Schans is also in the vicinity. And if you arrive home by car, there is ample parking available. This is a neighbourhood where you can still experience Zaandijk’s authentic village atmosphere, while everyday amenities remain within easy reach. A living room that gets you thinking As soon as you step inside, you will notice just how much space lies behind this façade. The wide, through-living room features wooden flooring and a distinctive bay window at the front. It is exactly the kind of detail that gives a home character. Can you already picture yourself sitting here with a cup of coffee, looking out over the street? The living room extends towards the rear of the property, where you will find the kitchen. Its straightforward, single-wall layout provides an excellent starting point for bringing your own kitchen ideas to life. A large dining table, a different layout or perhaps a cosy seating area by the bay window? Here, you can decide for yourself how you want to live. Behind the kitchen is a practical utility room, with space for laundry appliances and access to the outside. There is also an adjoining storage room, ideal for keeping all the things you would rather not have cluttering up your living room. Upstairs, the layout is yours to decide The first floor features two bedrooms. Both offer plenty of possibilities, whether you envision a comfortable main bedroom, a child’s bedroom, a home office or a guest room. The existing shower room is accessed through one of the bedrooms. Perhaps you can already picture a different layout, a centrally located bathroom and bedrooms designed entirely around your needs. There is plenty of scope to explore, provided you have a well-thought-out renovation plan. There is also an attic storage space, offering additional room for your belongings. Enjoying the outdoors There is also plenty of opportunity to put your own stamp on the outdoor space. The garden can be accessed from the side of the property, giving you the chance to create an outdoor area that perfectly suits your lifestyle. Perhaps a cosy dining table for long summer evenings, beautiful plants or a practical, low-maintenance garden. The choice is yours.
